Elk and moose
Why does everyone in Norway insist on referring to the elk as moose? The term 'moose' refers to the American elk (Alces alces americanus and Alces alces gigas), an animal which has never existed in Europe. The correct term for the species Alces Alces is 'elk'. This is also in keeping with the UK English used in the article (e.g. Archaeology (UK) instead of archeology (US)) Grumpy444grumpy 14:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

new/ old interpretation (true)
there's a hypothesis gaining momentum that the art depicts a future day; artist's vision gifted while wrestling with agaric; ragnarokian glimpse. many consider it a message of hope and there's evidence that the culture was aware of CO2 levels and knew (via ancient scandinavian sciences and thinking really hard) that humans would figure it all out: build a huge boat (spaceship) and leave for the moon/ mars/ abode of odin, accompanied by flying reindeer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:12C1:44F5:E84B:F5A1:F6C4:D61C (talk) 23:21, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
